It looks like Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser has confirmed the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour .

Welcome Tour was unveiled during the exciting Nintendo Switch 2 Direct last week, where the company finally revealed the release date for the upcoming console - June 5, 2025 - and several launch titles, such as Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza .

The price of Welcome Tour , a piece of launch day software featuring a series of mini games, was notably absent from the showcase; however, in a new interview with The Verge, Doug Bowser has now seemingly confirmed that it
will cost $9.99, which he thinks is a "fair price".

"As this game was being developed, whats been packed into it is a depth of minigame experiences," Bowser said.

"Theyre very deep, theyre very repeatable. And so, as we looked at that depth of play experience and opportunity, we felt that $9.99 was a fair price to
ask for that."

The price of the Nintendo Switch 2 was also missing from the Direct, so we didn't learn that the console will cost $449.99 / 395.99, or $499.99 / 429.99 for a Mario Kart World bundle, until after the broadcast.

Pre-orders are scheduled to open on April 8 in the UK, however, Nintendo has announced that it has delayed Switch 2 pre-orders in the US from its original April 9 date as it assesses the impact of tariffs imposed by the Trump Administration.

Nintendo confirmed it will share the new pre-order date soon and that the console's launch date is unchanged. You might also like... Here are the Nintendo Switch 2 launch games that you'll be able to pick up and play on
